The latest screenshots for id's upcoming game RAGE will make you doubt that id even made it! The graphical look and environment are such a radical departure from previous id titles you'll think twice that Mr. Carmack programmed this. But that's the case, and what we have here is an extremely pretty looking post apocalyptic game.
Splash Damage has unleashed a handful of screens for their upcoming four player co-op game, Brink. The game promises seamless drop-in and drop-out play for up to four player throughout the entire game. There's also dynamic missions and goals generated based on player class and skill. Sounds interesting, looks pretty, and we want it now.
MTV and Harmonix have revealed all but one of the 45 available songs for The Beatles: Rock Band, the latest batch reveals 19 new songs. The songs are listed with their featured venues, from the Ed Sullivan stage to the Abbey Road Dreamscape.
Left 4 Dead 2 might be on the horizon, but a new fan made video has told us the original still has a lot to offer. Set to Louis Armstrong's A Wonderful World, the video showcases the more beautiful side of Valve's co-op zombie shooter. Rainbows of boomer vomit never evoked such emotion.
Bungie has unveiled a new map for Halo 3: ODST's four player co-op mode, Firefight. The map is called Rally Point and it looks to be smack dab in the middle of New Mombassa.
Crackdown means a number of things to a number of different people. To me, it means super-hero physics in an open gang war. Matrix-style jumping across rooftops can get especially interesting if you add a little co-op to the mix. Hand to hand combat with a physically enhanced "agent" can add a little spice to your life, too.
A friendly reminder that the four player co-op demo for Lost Planet 2 is now available to download to your Xbox 360 console. The demo is playable over Xbox Live and features a mission from the campaign and a gigantic boss battle.
The Co-Op Gods must be smiling today! For last week's Co-Op Classics, we covered the twentieth birthday of Sega's Genesis console. You'll recall that Sega is running a poll to see which classic Genesis game will be released next on XBox Live Arcade. Earthworm Jim had a commanding lead, with ToeJam and Earl, a great co-op title, in a respectable second.
Infinity Ward sure is being stingy with the screenshots for their upcoming game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. So far we've only seen a dozen or so shots of the game, and even less in terms of actual gameplay footage.
When I noticed the latest Company of Heroes expansion pack had a little tick next to the co-op check box, my heart skipped a beat. Being a huge fan of the original title, I immediately dug for information on the co-op. While I had high hopes we'd have a full fledged co-op campaign, especially considering Relic's other co-op RTS outing. Alas that was not the case. Instead what we have is a single mission that can be played by up to four people called Operation Stonewall.
Like Guitar Hero 5, the more pop-ish Band Hero will offer drop-in and drop-out cooperative play for any instrument while in the middle of a song. Hopefully this becomes a staple feature in all music and rhythm games moving forward, I'm looking at you Rock Band franchise!
Tripwire Interactive has announced it will self publish its six player co-op shooter, Killing Floor, in North America. The game is set for a retail release "shortly" for the wallet friendly price of $19.99. This is good news for folks afraid of Valve's Steam service or other digital distribution methods. But really, there's no reason to be afraid, the scary digital monsters won't get you.
